What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth, values collaboration, and challenges me to innovate in financial management.

I am a seasoned finance professional with extensive experience in strategic financial leadership across various sectors, including public services, healthcare, and construction. My career has been marked by a commitment to delivering comprehensive financial strategies that align with organizational goals and statutory obligations. At CB Homes Ltd, I directed financial strategy and successfully negotiated funding agreements, ensuring long-term sustainability and compliance with government standards.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong ability to lead teams, enhance operational efficiency, and implement process improvements. My role as Interim Senior Accountant at MaPS involved overseeing month-end procedures and ensuring compliance, while my tenure at BD Group Ltd allowed me to produce insightful management reports and manage a team of accountants. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can leverage my skills in financial modeling, stakeholder collaboration, and governance to drive organizational success.
